Two Sides [Minchan]

Chapter 14

When you fall in my arms

“Minho? OMG HOW ARE YOU?!!!” Hongjoong quickly ran to the boy when he entered the restaurant. It was another day at the restaurant.

Every staff and customers looked at the boy who just entered. The issue was still fresh of how the Han family had insulted him and the rest of the workers inside the restaurant. It had fumed the people of how disrespectful their family was.

Han was the most affected during the days ever since the incident happen, a lot of people were bullying him at school and he was still grounded at home. The Han family had brought issues all over the news.

Minho could only sigh and look around him, facing his friend afterwards. He also gazed to the other workers who gave soft and apologetic smiles to him.

“You can say it had been tough, but I'm doing alright…Hyunjin even suggested me to have a company at home, so I can avoid being lonely.” Minho answered him after settling his items on a table.

“Are you sure you're going to be okay when someone accompanies you on your house? Are they someone you know or a friend? Relative?” Seonghwa also followed behind.

"No...it's one of Hyunjin's projects like somthing that has to do with Artificial Intelligence. So, I don't have anything to worry at all. He said he will try it out on me to engage this project to their professor and the AI itself is under observation too in my care." Minho walked to their lockers from the back and greeted the rest of his co-workers.

"Perks of being a science genius, huh?" Mark told Haechan who just nodded and agreed along, the two were listening alright.

"I bet Hyunjin is also one of the top students of their department." Renjun tagged along.

"Isn't he already on the top though? I rarely see that boy." Winwin chuckled and asked Minho.

"He doesn't tell me anything... but maybe he is one of the top students. Along with the other senior ones." Minho answered again and knocked on the office.

"Come in!" Taeyong was the one who said that, informing Minho.

Minho had turned the door knob and slowly entered the office.

Taeyong looked up and was shocked. He quickly sat straight and cleaned his desk.

"Minho... Wait, are you sure you're okay to start working now? Ever since the incident happened, we gave you time to cool down. Everyone's not expecting for you to be here... It's only the third day." Taeyong offered Minho a seat while saying it out.

Minho nodded and took a seat next to Taeyong's table, he didn't want to miss any working days just because of what happened.

"Yeah... but I also thought that I have already missed a lot of shifts ever since the start of the month. I also needed money for my tuition and on other things." He replied while folding his arms, he just sighed about thinking of running out of money for his expenses, and knowing he might need to have extra consumption with an AI in his house sooner or later.

"I understand. But we will consider if anytime, you want to leave for some space. Don't worry, the company decided to not deduct your salary this month too. And infact, we'll be giving increases to all of the employees since the business has been booming." Taeyong announced too, Minho smiled upon hearing the news.

"Thank you so much, hyung. I will do my best again for today. Thank you again." Minho stood up, bowing a lot of times and thanking his boss.

"It's good having you around again. Feel free to approach us when you need anything, okay?" Taeyong smiled at him.
